THE CARPET INDUSTRY.
A Free Trade Crank's Ignorance Rebuked
and Exposed.

| The Times is shedding Pecksniffian tears over
the alleged fact that duty of 81 cents per pound
| on carpet woods prevents the development of
the carpet industry in this country. Does the
Times know anything about the wonderful de-
veloDment OF that industry in the United States
during the last ten or fifteen yearsl
Does the Times know that under a protective
tariff on wool and on carpets we have become
the greatest carpet producing and consuming
country in the worldl Does the hypocritical,
British industry loving Times know that the car
pet industry of the world In that time has
changed from England France and Germany
to the United Statesl Does the Times know
that before the present tariff put on
carpets imported annually 10 600 900 and
II. 900 900 yards of carpets from Great Britain?
That now our imports are but few hundred
thousand yards2
Does the Times know that when we were
thus importing carpets. and twenty CONNER
clal travellers from British carpet-houses were
selling goods in this market. that the American
consumer was paying more than double the
price per yard for carpets than he now pays2
And lastly, does the Times know that carpets,
yard for yard and quality for quality, are being
sold to-day in the United States as cheapiy as
they can be bought in England With these
brilliant achievements to look back upon, is it
possible that any considerable body of sane per-
sons In this Republic are sitting up nights, wor-
rying over the duty of % cents per pound on
carpet wools2
Il is possible that we don't produce this wool
in the United States. If we do and cannot,
and the free importation of carpet wool will not
displace wool we do produce the Press saws put
it on the free list. But what are we to think of
paper narrow. unnaturally unpatriotic
30 unfair, so bieoted that il ignores the wonder
full progress of this great industry and the mar
velous achievements of such as the Bige-
lows. Sloanes. Dobsons and others, and wildly
shrieks that q cents per pound duty on wool
has stopped the development of the carpet in
dustry.
Is it not about time that the economic mon
strosities manufactured in the Times Office of
fishes eyes, sawdust. sharks teeth, straw and
the refuse of the junk shop were exposed to pub
lie ridiculel When ther true composition is
discovered they neither entrap the unwary nor
scare the weak.

walked into court and possibly put his foot in
1T again while on the bench.
The justices wear their gowns over their
usual attire, not even removing their coats,
which makes them suffer much from heat when
SO arrayed. There is a large robingroom in
which the justices assemble every morning just
before II, the hour the court meets. and
there they put on the gowns, which, when not in
use, always hang nails arranged in exactly
the order in which their wearers sit while in
court-that of the Chief-iustice in the middle
and that of a senior justice on either side so
the etiquette of the court extends even unto
their gowns.
As all patented articles get into litigation it
seems, "corset cases" are sometimes heard be-
fore the justices in their gowns, and more than
one of them have made funny remarks in society
about such articles For instance, said a lady
at a party TO justice, Il hear you are to have
another corset case in court" ''Oh, its on now;
we had it on Friday" he answered. land con-
tinue to try it on Monday. don't mean we've
got the corsets on, but only the case"
1t is perfectly true that when such case
was on. each of the nine justices was seen sit
ting solemnly in his chair in court holding a
pair of corsets in his august hands. Another
time all of them had corset steels in their hands,
the inventor of the ''cant-break-ems" having
brought suit for infringement against the owner
Of can t-bust-ems" Of course it is very sell
dom the learned judges have a chance to punish
society ladies with such remarks but when they
have the chance they never forget to use it.

The Bookworm.
Perhaps the most singular curiosity in the
book world is a volume that belongs to the fam
lily of the Prince de Liene and is now in France.
1t is entitled 1.-The Passion of Christ" and is
neither written nor printed. Every letter OF the
text is cut out of a leaf, and, being interleaved
with blue paper is as easily read the best
print The labor and patience bestowed upon
its composition must have been excessive, espe-
cially when the precision and minuteness of tho
letters considered.
The general execution in every respect is in
desd admirable, and the vellum is of the most
delicate and costly kind Rudolph III. of Ger
many, offered for it in 1640. II, 600 ducats which
was probably equal to &C, 900 at this day. The
most remarkable circumstance connected with
this literary treasure is that it bears the royal
arms of England; but when it in that
country and by whom owned, has never been
ascertaiued.
